Interest Rate Cap Agreement (a) Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall have obtained the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be maintained throughout the term of the Loan with an Acceptable Counterparty. If, at any time, the interest rate cap provider ceases to be an Acceptable Counterparty, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement at Borrower’s sole cost and expense within ten (10) days of receipt of notice from Lender that the interest rate cap provider is no longer an Acceptable Counterparty.
(b) Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and shall deliver to Lender counterparts of such Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement executed by Borrower and the Acceptable Counterparty and notify the Acceptable Counterparty of such collateral assignment (either in such Interest Rate Cap Agreement or by separate instrument). At such time as the Loan is repaid in full, all of Lender’s right, title and interest in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall terminate and Lender shall execute and deliver at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, such documents as may be required to evidence Lender’s release of the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement and to notify the Acceptable Counterparty of such release.
(c) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Acceptable Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into an account designated by Lender. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Acceptable Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.
(d) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement as and when required hereunder, or fails to maintain such agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable, and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable, shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.
(e) In connection with the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and any Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall, within a reasonable period of time after the effectiveness of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, obtain and deliver to Lender (1) a confirmation evidencing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (2) any guaranty or guaranties therefor, (3) executed counterparts to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Cap Agreement, and (4) an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in house counsel for the Acceptable Counterparty) for the Acceptable Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:
(i) the Acceptable Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or the Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable;
(ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or the Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable, by the Acceptable Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;
(iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Acceptable Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or the Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, as applicable, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and
(iv) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or the Replacement Interest Cap Agreement, as applicable, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Acceptable Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Acceptable Counterparty, enforceable against the Acceptable Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.24 or elsewhere in this Agreement, if, at any time, Lender converts the Loan from a LIBOR Rate Loan to either a Base Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.4 above (each, a “LIBOR Conversion”), then within thirty (30) days after such LIBOR Conversion, Borrower shall either (A) enter into, make all payments under, and satisfy all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of, a Substitute Interest Rate Protection Agreement (and in connection therewith, but not prior to Borrower taking all the actions described in this clause (f), Borrower shall have the right to terminate any then-existing Interest Rate Protection Agreement) or (B) cause the then-existing Interest Rate Protection Agreement to be modified such that such then-existing Interest Rate Protection Agreement satisfies the requirements of a Substitute Interest Rate Protection Agreement as set forth below in the definition thereof (a “Converted Interest Rate Protection Agreement”).
Maximum Interest Rate In no event shall any interest rate provided for hereunder exceed the maximum rate legally chargeable under applicable law with respect to loans of the Type provided for hereunder (the “Maximum Rate”). If, in any month, any interest rate, absent such limitation, would have exceeded the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate for that month shall be the Maximum Rate, and, if in future months, that interest rate would otherwise be less than the Maximum Rate, then that interest rate shall remain at the Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been paid if the same had not been limited by the Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon payment in full of the Obligations, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would, but for this Section 3.3, have been paid or accrued if the interest rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have been charged if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued had the interest rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement, at all times, been in effect over (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued under this Agreement. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Agent and/or any Lender has received interest and other charges hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the Obligations other than interest, and if there are no Obligations outstanding, the Agent and/or such Lender shall refund to the Borrower such excess.
Swap Account (a) No later than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall establish and maintain with itself, as agent for the Trustee, a separate, segregated trust account titled, “▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, N.A. as Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of MASTR Second Lien Trust 2006-1, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-1—Swap Account” (the “Swap Account”). Such account shall be an Eligible Account and amounts therein shall be held uninvested. The Swap Account shall be an asset of the Supplemental Interest Trust, but shall not be an asset of any REMIC.
(b) On each Distribution Date, prior to any distribution to any Certificate, the Trust Administrator shall deposit into the Swap Account: (i) the amount of any Net Swap Payment or Swap Termination Payment (other than any Swap Termination Payment resulting from a Swap Provider Trigger Event) owed to the Swap Provider (after taking into account any upfront payment received from the counterparty to a replacement swap agreement) from funds collected and received with respect to the Mortgage Loans prior to the determination of Available Funds and (ii) amounts received by the Trust Administrator from the Swap Administrator, for distribution in accordance with subsection (d) below, pursuant to the Swap Administration Agreement. For federal income tax purposes, any amounts paid to the Swap Provider on each Distribution Date shall first be deemed paid in respect of the Class SWAP-IO Interest to the extent of the amount distributable on such Class SWAP-IO Interest on such Distribution Date, and any remaining amount shall be deemed paid in respect of a Class IO Distribution Amount (as defined below).
(c) For federal income tax purposes, the Swap Account shall be owned by the beneficial owners of the Class CE Certificates.
(d) For federal income tax purposes, the Trust Administrator shall treat the Holders of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE and Class R Certificates) as having entered into a notional principal contract with respect to the Holders of the Class CE Certificates. Pursuant to each such notional principal contract, all Holders of Certificates (other than the Class P, Class CE and Class R Certificates) shall be treated as having agreed to pay, on each Distribution Date, to the Holder of the Class CE Certificates an aggregate amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount payable on such Distribution Date on the regular interest corresponding to such Class of Certificates over (ii) the amount payable on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date (such excess, a “Class IO Distribution Amount”). A Class IO Distribution Amount payable from interest collections shall be allocated pro rata among such Certificates based on the excess of (a) the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Certificates over (ii) the amount of interest payable to such Certificates at a per annum rate equal to the Net WAC Rate, and a Class IO Distribution Amount payable from principal collections shall be allocated to the most subordinate Class of Certificates with an outstanding principal balance to the extent of such balance. In addition, pursuant to such notional principal contract, the Holder of the Class CE Certificates shall be treated as having agreed to pay Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts to the Holders of the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any payments to the Certificates from amounts deemed received in respect of this notional principal contract shall not be payments with respect to a regular interest in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(1). However, any payment from the Certificates (other than the Class CE, Class P and Class R Certificates) of a Class IO Distribution Amount shall be treated for tax purposes as having been received by the Holders of such Certificates in respect of their interests in the Master REMIC and as having been paid by such Holders to the Swap Administrator pursuant to the notional principal contract. Thus, each Certificate (other than the Class P and Class R Certificates) shall be treated as representing not only ownership of regular interests in the Master REMIC, but also ownership of an interest in, and obligations with respect to, a notional principal contract. For federal income tax purposes, the Trust Administrator shall treat such notional principal contract as having a value of $10,000 as of the Closing Date.
Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account No later than the Closing Date, the Trust Administrator shall establish and maintain with itself a separate, segregated trust account titled, “Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as Trustee, in trust for registered Holders of Soundview Mortgage Loan Trust 2006-EQ2, Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 2006-EQ2.” All amounts deposited in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates in the manner set forth in Section 4.01(d). On each Distribution Date as to which there is a Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount payable to the Floating Rate Certificates (after taking into account the remaining Initial Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account Deposit), the Trust Administrator has been directed by the Class C Certificateholders to, and therefore will, deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described in Section 4.01(c)(v), rather than distributing such amounts to the Class C Certificateholders. In addition, any payments received by the Trust Administrator under the Basis Risk Cap Agreement on each Distribution Date will be deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account. On each such Distribution Date, the Trust Administrator shall hold all such amounts for the benefit of the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates, and will distribute such amounts to the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 4.01(d). On each Distribution Date, any amounts remaining in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account (representing payments received by the Trust Administrator under the Basis Risk Cap Agreement) after the payment of any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts on the Floating Rate Certificates for such Distribution Date, shall be payable to the Trust Administrator as additional compensation. For so long as any Floating Rate Certificates are beneficially owned by the Depositor or any of its Affiliates, the Depositor shall refund or cause such Affiliate to refund any amounts paid to it under the Basis Risk Cap Agreement to the Trust Administrator who shall, pursuant to the terms of the Basis Risk Cap Agreement, return such amount to the counterparty thereunder. It is the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account be disregarded as an entity separate from the Holder of the Class C Certificates unless and until the date when either (a) there is more than one Class C Certificateholder or (b) any Class of Certificates in addition to the Class C Certificates is recharacterized as an equity interest in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account for federal income tax purposes, in which case it is the intention of the parties hereto that, for federal and state income and state and local franchise tax purposes, the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account be treated as a partnership provided, that the Trust Administrator shall not be required to prepare and file partnership tax returns in respect of such partnership unless it receives additional reasonable compensation (not to exceed $10,000 per year) for the preparation of such filings, written notification recognizing the creation of a partnership agreement or comparable documentation evidencing the partnership, if any. All amounts deposited into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account (other than amounts received under the Basis Risk Cap Agreement) shall be treated as amounts distributed by REMIC 4 to the Holder of the Class C Interest and by REMIC 4 to the Holder of the Class C Certificates. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h). Upon the termination of the Trust, or the payment in full of the Floating Rate Certificates, all amounts remaining on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be released by the Trust and distributed to the Holders of the Class C Certificates or their designee. The Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account will be part of the Trust but not part of any REMIC and any payments to the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates of Net WAC Rate Carryover Amounts will not be payments with respect to a “regular interest” in a REMIC within the meaning of Code Section 860(G)(a)(1). By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder hereby agrees to direct the Trust Administrator, and the Trust Administrator hereby is directed, to deposit into the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account the amounts described above on each Distribution Date as to which there is any Net WAC Rate Carryover Amount rather than distributing such amounts to the Class C Certificateholders. By accepting a Class C Certificate, each Class C Certificateholder further agrees that such direction is given for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged by such acceptance. Amounts on deposit in the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account shall remain uninvested. For federal tax return and information reporting, the right of the Holders of the Floating Rate Certificates to receive payments from the Net WAC Rate Carryover Reserve Account in respect of any Net WAC Cap Carry Forward Amounts may have more than a de minimis value.
